Title: Personal Jesus Fandom: Fleabag Relationship: Fleabag/Priest Summary: Reach out and touch faith. Song: "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode (Lyrics) Runtime: 3:04 Content Notes: Mild Sexual Content
It's been ages since I've seen a vid to this song that actually felt *right*. I love what you've done--breaking the fourth wall at exactly the moment I wanted her to look at me. :) I'm in on it! Also, I loved that you went with the rhythm of each clip instead of blindly following that 4/4 beat. It's moving and funny and aching, and in the subtext of your vid, you show that he's falling in love with her, too (which I'm sure he was).
What I got most from this (besides funny, well-crafted, and heartbreaking) is the understanding that a true man of God is going to minister where and how it's needed. Even if it's breaking a vow of celibacy. And he *is* her own personal Jesus, and he SAVED HER.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! Working with all the fourth wall breaks was challenging and I'm glad to hear it works! And yes I agree he's falling in love with her too and we really wanted to show that!
The show is so good!! I'm glad the POV reversal came across. That was actually really hard to do because the show is so very much shot from her perspective at all times. Thank you for commenting!
